ThieAudio Signature Series Tribrid IEMs
Hello head-fiers, Has anyone from the UK ordered the ThieAudio Monarch or Clairvoyance recently and if so did you need to pay import fees…? Really interested in the Monarch but the long waiting time and likely import fee is likely to put anyone off… Many thanks for your time in advance- darkportent

Sony XBA-N3AP and XBA-N1AP — Impressions thread
Thank you all for your advice and recommendations…! It seems to be the socket of the R earpiece that’s causing the issue as it’s still there when I swap the cable ( I know I’m not supposed to lol…!)

Thank you for the kind response. I already have the C5D which is a Dac/Amp... I was using it with an old iPod touch which is broken now but I love the C5D and I want to try out the M3K with it if compatible...would the 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable or would I need something else? Cheers- darkportent
